I dropped my head back against Maddox’s chest, grinding my ass against him, moving up and down, side to side. I could feel him getting hard. We were deep in the mess of people, his family nowhere in sight. I used his stiffening dick as encouragement, winding my hips even more, holding his hands in mine before pulling them forward, pushing them down.
He spoke in my ear. “Mmm. You’re just as hard as I am.”
I turned, pressing our bulges and bodies together, my arms going over his shoulders. I smiled up at him.
“You get me like this,” I said.
“Are you blaming me for—” He pushed his cock against mine. “—this?”
“Yes. Yes I am.”
He claimed my lips in a kiss, squeezing my ass. Our cocks throbbed together. “Good,” he said. “I can’t wait to take care of it later.”
I couldn’t help but moan as I kissed him again. I squeezed the back of his neck, the pressure in my balls building. I could feel myself getting wet from the precum as we continued to grind to the beat of another song. All around us, people were dancing and having the time of their lives, not a care in the world. A wolf shifter danced with his boyfriend, his gray ears pinned back as he howled to the beat drop, the crowd around us cheering on the DJ.
I looked up at Maddox and felt my knees get weak. The spinning disco ball above us made his eyes have an otherworldly glitter, matching the shine of his bright blue scales. Handsome didn’t even cut it when it came to describing Maddox. He was a masterpiece of hard lines, soft curves, and lips you could kiss for days and days and days. And I was here, dancing with him, feeling his huge cock press against me, his equally as big hands cupping my ass.
He was everything I ever wanted and was quickly becoming what I feared to lose the most.
Which was why tonight had to be the night. I decided that I’d come clean before the night was over. He had to know about my past in the Crimson Ring. If it ever came out, if he ever discovered it before I told him, then I could see it being the ultimate betrayal. He’d never trust me again. He may have hidden the paintings from me, but his reasoning was sound. Now, I had to break a secret of my own.
We continued to dance, the club fading away and the world centering on me and Maddox. It wasn’t until Robby waded through the crowd to find us that the spell between us broke. He had come to let us know that the pre-party was over and the main event was going to start at a house in the hills. I took two more shots with Moonlight on my way out to the Ubers, wanting as much liquid courage as I could get for the confession ahead.
Please, please. Just don’t fuck this up.
Chapter 24
Time for a Show
Maddox
I was hard the entire ride up to the mansion in the hills.
Fuck. Caleb was so damn sexy. I couldn’t get enough of him.
He looked especially good tonight, wearing a brown leather jacket with a collar that hid the mark I had left on him last night, a gray shirt underneath that matched the gray in his eyes, pulling me in every time I so much as glanced in his direction. His light brown hair was spiked up at the front and pushed slightly to the side, made a little more wild by the wind that blew in from the open window.
He was a movie star. A cover model. A marvel of a man.
I couldn’t wait to get home and devour him. Vodka always made me horny, so it was no surprise that Caleb would only exacerbate the effect. Dancing with him was like having sex with our clothes on while surrounded by a hundred other sweaty bodies.
It was so fucking hot.
We arrived at the house in the hills just as the party was really getting underway.
And calling it a house was likely an understatement. It was a mansion made by a famous Marvel architect known for his minimalistic and clean designs, using interesting curves and angles to bring a flair that only money could buy. The two huge arching doors were thrown open, people filing in from their Ubers, stumbling up the steps with their dates, chatting and laughing.
I followed behind my family, Caleb holding my hand. This felt good.
Nah, it felt fucking great being out with the Blackthorne clan and having someone at my side who fit in so well.
“I’m really happy you’re here tonight,” I said to Caleb.
He gave me a wide grin and squeezed my hand. “You’re the best.”
I answered him with a kiss. Fuck. This man was everything to me.
